Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been tapped to host this year’s Sundance Film Festival Awards Ceremony on Jan. 26 in Park City.
As an Artist Trustee of the Sundance Institute, Gordon-Levitt has a long history with the annual festival. He has appeared in seven films at the fest, and his directing debut, the short film Sparks, premiered there in 2009. This year, Gordon-Levitt will make his feature directorial debut at Sundance with Don Jon’s Addiction, which will screen in the out-of-competition Premieres section.
